Rounding off the festival, The Raveonettes played a lively set as the sun started to set over Coney Island.

Built to Spill stepped on the Main Stage to tremendous cheers (and a whiff of marijuana), ready to close off the festival on that side of the Wonder Wheel.

On the other side, Spank Rock invited chaos, with the crowd climbing over the barricade to dance in the photo pit until security intervened. I heard there was an impromptu after-show on the Williamsburg Bridge around midnight. With Spank Rock, the chaos never stops.

And that wraps up my Siren Festival coverage. I hope you had fun while it lasted.
In the near future look forward to a few album reviews and some photos from a show with Friendly Fires and The Phenomenal Handclap Band.
You've found your way to a site featuring concert and other photography, and music reviews from a girl in New York City. Tag along with me on my late night music travels and perhaps discover a new favorite band.
